This is plain genius.

As an infrequent blogger I do know that one of the hardest things is coming up with good and relevant content, and a post about some new web business that is starting up is not only pretty easy and interesting, but a serious cool factor as well.

I can see this really taking off, and people even fighting to cover stories first!

It's visibly a joke, but I don't see why it has to be. Most bloggers that are overlooked "beg" somehow. This is usually done by submitting their site to tagging sites or they simply become active in commenting on social sites.
